Full Accreditation & Membership is important.

All of our courses are Accredited by the Central Pastoral Foundation & Institute (CPFI). However, each individual will need to work through a process of Objective and regulatory Accreditation to show evidence of senior competence and skills to gain Full Accreditation with the CPFI after they graduate as Qualified Counsellors, Therapists or Psychotherapists.  It is requisite for senior professionals to validate their level of work through this process of Accreditation with the CPFI. http://www.cpfi.co.uk/index.html
